Echinacea purpurea 'Sweet Meadow Mama' - 2026

Echinacea purpurea 'Sweet Meadow Mama' is a vibrant and compact perennial that brings a burst of colour to any garden. This cultivar features large, daisy-like flowers with slightly curled, pink petals surrounding a deep red central cone, creating a striking visual appeal. The upright, bushy habit makes it ideal for borders, containers, or as a focal point in smaller garden spaces. Flowering from early to late summer, 'Sweet Meadow Mama' provides extended colour and attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing garden biodiversity.

Preferring full sun and well-drained soil, 'Sweet Meadow Mama' is drought-tolerant once established and relatively low-maintenance. Regular deadheading encourages prolonged blooming, while leaving some seed heads provides winter interest and food for birds. This cultivar pairs beautifully with grasses, rudbeckias, and salvias, adding a touch of elegance to perennial borders or mixed garden beds. With its unique appearance and ecological benefits, 'Sweet Meadow Mama' is a valuable addition to any garden.
